Location prime as far as view and water. Cottage a little musty. Pricey.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the location and the beautiful setting by the water. We apologize for the musty smell you experienced during your stay. As our cottage is a rustic property along the water, this can sometimes be an issue. However, we are committed to providing a comfortable stay for our guests and will take steps to address and minimize this issue. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
Sleeping six people, but you need a traffic light to regulate the movement.
Very dirty. They change just the bedding sheets.

We are very sorry to hear of the experience you had with us. Our team, including our housekeepers put a lot of hard work into providing an exceptional vacation rental property and overall experience. We welcome the opportunity to host you for a future stay so we can give you the 5-star experience you deserve.
Overall the property was lovely. The views were beautiful. Great sunsets. Small but quaint. Lovely setting. However, there were several issues that were due to the written description and instructions. For example, the instructions said put the dishes in the dishwasher before you leave but there was no dishwasher. The starting packet had dishwasher tablet and tablet for washing machine but neither existed. We had to prop the windows open with the toilet brush. Not all the electrical outlets worked and not all the fans worked. We were grateful it cooled off at night to make sleeping easier. We met one of the owners and he seemed very nice and friendly.

The property is truly right on the lake. The view is amazing. The lake is literally a few steps down the back deck. I love the rock edge to the lake. No sand to drag in. The fire pit with wood is fabulous. The dock is great. Our dog loved playing in the lake. Plenty of room for a dog tether while you are outside.
The house itself isn't bad, but could use a little more care. The kitchen has a very small amount of counter space. Kitchen table could use refinishing. There is a sort of musty order inside. Bring some Febreeze, it helps. More lighting would help in the living room and bedrooms. Those rooms are small so maybe smaller furniture in the bedroom with the queen size bed. Really needs some sort of bed side table on both sides of the bed. Rooms are dark so lightening them up would help and probably replace the carpeting. That might help with the musty smell also.
